Breakthroughs in LED technology increase beam angle range

The engineering team at Gem Hsin Electronics is turning heads with its new patented innovations which use laser-precision technology to create direct paths for heated air to escape to the heat-sink.

Gem Hsin Electronics, an LED lighting manufacturer, has made new advances in research and development of LED lighting products. The firm claims its latest developments enable wider beam angles than its competitors and unparalleled light uniformity.

Combined, Gem Hsin’s says these patented design achievements give its latest products a superiority that is unmatched in the LED industry. Gem Hsin has already started incorporating these cutting-edge research breakthroughs into their line of T5 / T8 LED Tube Lights.

Gem Hsin’s engineers, with their extensive backgrounds in cooling, have made significant breakthroughs in reducing the size of the heat-sinks needed in their LED products. Using laser-precision technology, extremely small holes are drilled beneath each LED, creating direct paths for heated air to escape to the heat-sink.

This improvement may appear minute but means that LEDs will stay cooler, improving efficiency and lifespan, and at the same time require less heat-sink mass for thermal optimisation. What’s more, this design breakthrough enables Gem Hsin to offer lighting products that have much wider beam angles, up to 220 degrees, as compared to competitors who typically can only offer beam angles of 180 degrees.

One of the major criticisms of LED light has been that it is too focused and unpleasant, but these wider beam angles, provide unmatched natural LED light for home and office environments.

Gem Hsin’s R&D team has also developed a new way to position LEDs into tube lights. Whereas other LED makers use a single row of LEDs in their tube lights, Gem Hsin is now implementing a design that increases uniformity and quality of light by using two, staggered rows of LEDs. Instead of uneven light with unsightly bright and dark areas, Gem Hsin’s T8 LED Tube Lights produce, along their entire length, exactly the same high-quality, natural, soft light that consumers have been waiting for in an LED tube light.

Both of these engineering accomplishments have already been recognised as unique inventions and granted patents in Japan and Taiwan. Furthermore, Gem Hsin has started incorporating them into their line of T5 / T8 LED Tube Lights that use 20% less energy than competing products and are available in two-feet-long, three-feet-long, four-feet-long, and eight-feet-long models, providing users with substantially lower operating costs.
